Gary Young's Travels
For 25 years, Gary Young has traveled throughout Central and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East to study the natural healing properties of plants and their essential oils and to do humanitarian work. Gary's travels have allowed him to further his knowledge of essential oils, share his passion with the world and offer aid to those in need.
Mexico
During the 1980s, Gary had the opportunity to work under the leadership
of prominent doctors in Mexico. He studied a wide range of subjects,
including chemistry, anatomy, hematology, and biochemistry.
In 2003, Gary led a volunteer expedition that provided humanitarian aid
and supplies to the Tarahumara Indians in northern Mexico. (link to the
Tarahumara page on the foundation website).
France
Gary traveled to the south of France in the early 1990s to study the
process of how essential oils are distilled.
China
In 2000, Gary traveled to China to study the potent Ningxia wolfberry
and its wide range of health benefits. Gary then introduced the
treasured Chinese Ningxia wolfberry to the western world.
The Middle East
Gary has traveled all over Egypt, Israel, and Pakistan investigating
ancient distillation techniques at various archaeological sites.
India
Gary's quest to discover the healing remedies found in nature and
natural ways to preserve health and combat illness has taken him to the
rich nation of India.
Ecuador
Gary Young now makes his home in Ecuador and recently invited Young
Living's top distributors to join him there. For a full week, Gary and
the distributors were able to interact with one another and Gary
personally showed them the Young Living farmland in the town of
Guayaquil and the essential oil distillation process.
